Chapter 5284: 5.1036 Shameless Duan Yue

"Those thirty thousand troops are just the overt movement. I think given that guy's cunning, it's impossible he only brought thirty thousand people. He definitely arranged many hidden lines, and perhaps secretly ordered another three hundred thousand as reinforcements."

Du Guling's small fan almost dropped from his hand.

He showed a stunned expression. "No way? Would Emperor Cangzhou be that shameless?"

"Thirty thousand elite troops gathered from three states aren't enough to attack a single Shadow City? He wants to secretly mobilize three hundred thousand troops??" No way, is it really that bad?

"When he gets shameless, do you know what he's capable of?" Long Yun chuckled. "We have to guard against him, don't we?"

Second Young Master Qin said expressionlessly, "It's not like he just became shameless today."

He and that guy surnamed Mo are practically birds of a feather, both shameless individuals, and when it comes to screwing over others, they're equally adept.

Du Guling quickly picked up his small fan and waved it. "So, should we go there?"

"Of course, we must go," Family Head Long said with a look of earnestness. "But we can't just go like this. We need to prepare everything thoroughly before we go."

Du Guling glanced at him. "It seems you already have a good plan?"

"Tell me about it," Second Young Master Qin said coldly.

"We can play a trick of luring the enemy deep, and then encircle and annihilate them one by one," Long Yun said with a deep smile.

Du Guling's eyes widened. "You mean, we should perform an empty fort strategy and invite the enemy into our trap?"

"Excellent, Young Master Du Gu," Long Yun praised.

Talking to smart people was so effortless. He only needed to say the first half, and the other person could immediately guess the second half.

Second Young Master Qin glanced at him, his voice flat. "I can tell you responsibly. While this method isn't bad, Duan Yue isn't a fool; he might not fall for your trick."

"Not so, not so. The more conceited one is, the less likely they are to consider everything perfectly. That person... is just like that."

Upon hearing this, Second Young Master Qin's expression flickered slightly, and he said in a low voice, "Then I shall wait and see."

Counterfeit Punishment Tower

As Qiao Mu entered the first level, she saw the residual image of Little Tree swaying back and forth on the opposite wall. Its branches swung and waved, and the residual image emitted bursts of eerie, taunting laughter.

It truly felt like entering the first layer of hell.

"It's me," Qiao Mu rolled her eyes, too tired to complain.

Qiuqiu's residual image immediately stopped swaying and asked in a precise manner, "Master, please feel free to look around. Each of the twelve levels offers a new experience."

"Which level is Shen Tuching on?"

"Shen Tuching is currently on the sixth level, Thousand Blades Forest!"

Qiao Mu said expressionlessly, "Send me over."

In a blink, she was standing at the entrance to the sixth level.

Qiao Mu looked in, and this simulated environment was indeed a small forest...

However, what hung on the trees were not leaves, but shimmering small flying daggers.

Shen Tuching was hanging limply on a giant tree, bleeding all over, her body covered in countless small bloody holes.

"You said she was looking for me?"

"Yes, Master, she said she had something to tell you and requested you give her a straightforward death!"

It seems Shen Tuching was truly tormented badly by Little Tree Qiuqiu, to actually say such a thing.
